1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Prolyl-hydroxylases (PHDs) are oxygen-sensing enzymes that mediate the hydroxylation of proline residues. In mammals, three PHD isoforms (PHD1-3) are responsible for proline hydroxylation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) alpha, a key regulator of the hypoxia response. In the accompanying paper (Jiang et al., 2025), we report development of a mass spectrometry-based method to reliably identify proline hydroxylation (OH-Pro) sites on proteins and use this to identify a PHD-dependent OH-Pro modification at Pro604 on the protein RepoMan (CDCA2), a regulatory subunit for protein phosphatase PP1γ with important roles in mitotic progression and cell viability. Here, we investigate the functional significance of hydroxylation of RepoMan at P604. During M phase, the PP1-RepoMan complex dephosphorylates Thr3 of Histone H3 (H3T3) on chromosome arms to ensure the correct localisation of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) at centromeres. We show that siRNA depletion of PHD1, but not PHD2, increases H3T3 phosphorylation in prometaphase-arrested cells. In cells depleted of endogenous RepoMan, exogenous expression of wild-type RepoMan, but not a RepoMan-P604A mutant, restored normal H3T3 phosphorylation localisation in prometaphase arrested cells. RepoMan-P604 is located proximal to the short linear motifs (SLiMs) that function as binding sites for the serine/threonine protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). The interaction of RepoMan and PP2A-B56γ is reduced in cells expressing RepoMan-P604A. Moreover, analyses in both fixed and live cells released from a prometaphase arrest show that expression of the RepoMan-P604A mutant delays completion of mitosis, results in defects in chromosome alignment and segregation, and increases levels of cell death. These data support a role for PHD1-mediated prolyl hydroxylation in controlling progression through mitosis, acting, at least in part, via hydroxylation of RepoMan at P604 regulating the interaction of RepoMan with PP2A during chromosome alignment and thereby controlling the levels of Histone H3 phosphorylation at Thr3.
